They are of course allowed an opinion, but it would be so much classier and wise to maybe just listen to why it’s offensive and learn from others lived experiences that you haven’t, and will never, go through.

It takes a special kind of ignorance and ego to play down heterophobia and a straight person’s reaction to it when you’ve no experience of it.

This place, honestly.

I don’t really disagree. Of course due to the lack of any kind of historical anti-straight discourse, persecution, laws, removal of rights, bullying it’s low on the totem pole of “this is an issue” but yes if you feel it’s heterophobic to say cis straight men are seen as threatening then who am I to tell you you’re wrong (and I didn’t).

You see how it works? You can educate me on what you as a straight person offends your straightness and I will learn from it and not pretend to know better without ever having lived a life as a straight person. Apart from the first 20 years of my life, of course.
